Default Re: Aluminum radiator 1950 Ford Custom

When selecting an aluminum radiator, focus on tube size. The cooling fin contact on the side of the tube transfers the heat from the water. The larger the tube, the more fin contact. A number of radiators offer a 1" tube, some offer 1 1/4" tubes. Two larger tubes are more efficient than three 5/8" tubes.
